Outside Qingpo, almost at the same time, the east and south sides resounded with earth-shattering cries.
Jiao Ming vs. Chen Jing, Wang Jiuling vs. Li Weiguo, the two battlefields started at the same time. are all about the same troop configuration, more than 2,000 Song troops against 2,000 princes' troops; It's also about the same general configuration, with two unknown generals facing two nobodies.
Whether it is Jiao Ming or Wang Jiuling, they are all unknowns, Chen Jing and Li Weiguo, although their positions are better than the previous two, and they may also be better than some in terms of force, but in terms of the most important military command ability in the night battle, the four of them are the same.
The battle between the two sides was a tedious attrition, the rigid arrangement, the conservative command, and half an hour had passed, and there was still no difference between the top and the bottom.
The battle reports of the two battlefields will be reported to the commanders of the two armies by the fast cavalry every short period of time, Yao Fangqiong is not surprised, and the Song army, which is still dozens of miles away, continues to bury its head forward.
Time passed little by little, the main force of the Song army was getting closer and closer to Qingpo, and the camp of the prince's army in Qingpo was becoming more and more perfect.
"Phew-" Dou Bing gently reined in his horse, and let out a reassuring light boo from his mouth. Behind him, no more, no less, three hundred elite horsemen lined up proudly.
This is a team composed of Dou soldiers, based on Lu Tong's personal soldiers and the scouts collected along the way, and the athletes who can ride and fight well in the army. Tonight, this cavalry will be tasked with the most difficult task of breaking through the enemy's entrapment.
The war horses collected from the countryside outside Lanmei Mountain and Baicang City were not enough to match the three hundred elites, and a considerable number of them had only the best mounts in the crotch of the horses.
Dou Bing is now leading this cavalry and has rushed to the battlefield of Wang Jiuling vs Li Weiguo. After a little scrutiny of the situation, there was too much hidden in the night. But Dou Bing can still see the thorough street in the situation.
Looking at the faintly visible banner on the prince's army, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of Dou Bing's mouth, "I'll take you first." β
With a wave of his hand, he turned over and dismounted, and the three hundred horsemen behind him also landed at the same time.
There was no thick cloth to wrap the horse's hooves, and there was no halter to tighten the horse's mouth, so what Dou Bing could only do was to keep his voice as low as possible. Three hundred horsemen, like a poisonous snake that haunts the darkness. The cold gaze was aimed at Li Weiguo, who was commanding and dispatching in the military formation.
Five miles, three miles, two miles, one mileβ
After approaching the battlefield, it took a full two quarters of an hour for Dou Bing to shorten the distance between himself and the prince's flank to less than a mile. You can't get any closer, this distance is already the limit, and if you get closer, you will definitely be discovered.
Turn over and get on the horse. He raised the broadsword in his hand and swung it fiercely towards the flank of the prince's army, "Brothers, kill the enemy with meβ"
It's less than a mile away, and the horses gallop, and they can sprint to the front in every second. Three hundred elites jumped on horseback. At the same time, the horses were killed, and the sound of horses' hooves like rolling thunder instantly sounded on the flanks of the prince's army.
Li Weiguo put all his energy in front of the battle, and now he has noticed the specific strength of the Song army, which is more than 2,000, which is about the same as the strength at hand. But the more unexpected thing is. With such a force, it can put considerable pressure on his own formation. The combat power of the Song army is much stronger than in the impression.
However, under the desperate fighting of the street, it is impossible for the Song army to have troops to attack from both sides. Besides, it's dark now, and it's already commendable to keep the military formation tight in front of the battle, and if you want to divide your troops to sneak attack from the flank, it's really difficult to cooperate. And more importantly, he never noticed that the pressure in front of the formation had weakened by half a point.
So he concentrated all his forces on the confrontation in front of the frontal formation, and the defense in the rear and on the flanks was nothing more than a thin layer of paper.
It was under this circumstance that the three hundred cavalry, led by Dou Bing, attacked the flank of the prince's army, like a hot dagger stuck in butter, and there was no half of the enemy wherever it went. Although the soldiers of the prince's army made a relatively stubborn resistance, it was just a mantis arm blocking the car, and it could not stop the advance of the Dou soldiers at all.
"Give me my life!" With the bloody rain and bloody wind all the way, Dou Bing's big knife in his hand was raised high, and he faced Li Weiguo with a spear, and his head was a vigorous slash.
In the crisp sound of gold and iron, Li Weiguo was shocked and was almost knocked off his horse. His arms were numb, and the blood flowed from the tiger's mouths on both hands.
Seeing that one move failed to kill the enemy general, Dou Bing pressed the big knife with both arms, and the sharp blade pressed the barrel of the gun, and then slid down hard, "Huh-" There was a piercing sound of steel grinding, Li Weiguo only held on for a moment before his arms weakened, and he was no longer able to resist the huge pressure from the barrel of the gun.
He leaned backwards as hard as he could, trying to dodge the fatal blow. However, things did not go as planned, and the change of Dou Bing's sword posture was faster than his body, and with the forward rush of the war horse, it turned into a stab.
"Flutter-" I heard the muffled sound of a knife blade entering the flesh. Li Weiguo's terrible screams immediately rang out, and then turned into a whimper before he died.
In a simple round, Li Weiguo, the leader of the prince's army, was buried under Dou Bing's hands.
As soon as Li Weiguo died in front of everyone's eyes, in an instant, the army formation of the prince's army, which had been loosened, collapsed. Wang Jiuling was ready when the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the flank of the princeling army, because Lu Tong had greeted him before he divided his troops. Now it's time to take advantage of the momentum to kill-
However, Dou Bing did not continue to mix with the prince's army, and immediately after Li Weiguo's death, he led the army out of the other flank. Anyway, the prince's army has dispersed, the rout has been completed, and in the pursuit and attack that Wang Jiuling took over, it was Sun Wu's reincarnation, and he was resurrected in vain, and he didn't have the ability to turn the tide.
solved Li Weiguo in the east, and Chen Jing in the south. This time, Dou Bing did not continue to hide, but led his troops to gallop away with a straight face. galloped all the way for more than ten miles, and crashed into it again and gave Chen Jing a hard blow.
Compared with the defenseless Li Weiguo, Chen Jing at this time was obviously aware of the preparations, and moved himself to the center of the military formation, and at the same time transferred troops from the front to the rear and the left and right flanks. In other words, it is to quickly transform the layout that is the same as Li Wei** into an impermeable circle array in all directions.
However, the gap in strength could not be made up by tearing down the east wall and making up for the west wall, and a large number of troops were transferred from the front formation, which immediately shook the stability of Chen Jingjun's army. The subsequent transfers and additions made the cracks in the military formation bigger and bigger. Although in the end Chen Jing strengthened the rear and two wings, it was all about his own changes that gave the Song army an excellent opportunity. Taking advantage of the prince's army to change formation, Jiao Ming took the opportunity to lead his troops to attack, and the front of his army retreated step by step, and when the Dou soldiers led the troops to kill, under the attack from both sides, Chen Jing could not resist after only two quarters of an hour of struggle, and retreated completely.
Chen Jing himself was wrapped in a group of defeated soldiers, and before he had time to play another role of the war horse-to escape, he was surrounded by Jiao Ming and Jiao Hong's brothers, and was hacked to death in the middle of the battle after a period of strangulation.
Since then, the 4,000 princes' army that went out to fight has completely collapsed, and the two places combined, more than 1,500 people were killed on the spot. Jiao Ming and Wang Jiuling each led their troops to chase and fight, and Dou Bing also scattered the 300 cavalry of the headquarters into a team of 100 people, and Jiao Ming and Wang Jiuling faintly formed a line, and the prince's army on the east and south battlefields rushed to the direction of Qingpo.
By the time Lu Tong led his troops to Qingpo, the Song army had already gained an overall advantage in the overall situation. At this moment, the 4,000 soldiers of the prince's army were left with only a rout in their early 1,000s, gathered in front of the prince's army's camp, and the rest were either killed or captured, except for a few who escaped from the siege of the Song army.
"General." The task was completed very beautifully, and the three generals Jiao Ming, Wang Jiuling, and Dou Bing went to hand over the order at the same time.
Lu Tong's gaze turned to the prince's military camp, this green slope is really a good place, facing the water in the north and the hills in the west. Although the water is not deep and the hills are not high, as long as they are equipped with strong camps, they are enough to withstand the siege of three or four times the number of men and horses.
"How many soldiers and horses are there in the enemy camp?" After looking at the panicked princeling soldiers in front of the gate, Lu Tong nodded with satisfaction. While it is not a problem to clean up all these routs, it is clear that this is the more appropriate way to deal with them.
The cries of more than a thousand people were enough to demoralize the rest of the prince's army in the camp!
"General, the two teams of soldiers and horses sent by Yao Fangqiong are two thousand people each. Now there should be only 4,000 princes' troops left in this camp. β
Yao Fangqiong only had a total of 8,000 people, and half of them came out, so naturally the other half was left in the camp.
"Only four thousand left?" Lu Tong was a little stunned, Yao Fangqiong was really ruthless, and he didn't open the door all the time, "Didn't put any of them in?" Maybe it's been opened before.
When they met for the first time, Lu Tongzhen thought that the more than 1,000 people in front of Yuanmen were the remnants of one of the two battlefields in the east and south, and he didn't want it to be all the remaining troops of the 4,000 princes' army. Thinking of the one or two thousand captives I saw in the back just now, I felt a sigh in my heart that half of the princes' army who went out to fight had been killed. This is an unexpectedly high battle loss rate.
"I didn't put any of them in, but this surnamed Yao was calm." Hearing Lu Tong ask about this, the corners of Dou Bing's mouth twitched. Although intellectually speaking, it is correct that Yao Fangqiong does not open the door, emotionally speaking, Dou Bing is strict and disdainful of this approach.
"Jiao Ming."
"The end will be."
"You led your troops around the back of the prince's military camp, and when you saw the chaos in the enemy camp, you led the army to attack." Lu Tong then said to Dou Bing: "Quickly send someone to the front of the camp to shout, and limit Yao Fangqiong to abandon the army and surrender within two quarters of an hour, otherwise the sword and soldiers will burn him together."
If you want Yao Fangqiong to surrender so lightly, it is obviously impossible. Lu Tong said this is what he said, which was used to break the morale of the prince's army. And with two quarters of an hour of relieve, it was enough for Jiao Ming to lead the army to detour through the rear village of the prince's army. (To be continued.)
